Core sense — he broke his head so that the wound reached the brain; he overcame and abased himgenerated
1.1the sun pained his دِمَاغ—دَمَغَتْهُ الشَّمْسُ
Muḍāriʿ دَمَغَ and دَمُغَ: he broke his head so that the wound reached the دِمَاغ [or brain].
Or he broke the bone of his دِمَاغ. Or he struck a person's head so that the stroke reached the دِمَاغ.
And he struck his دِمَاغ and broke the interior of the skull, next to the دِمَاغ.
1.1.1figurative · مجازso that it may overcome it, or prevail over it, and abolish it—فَيَدْمَغَهُ
In the Qur'ān 21:18.
Az: so that it may do away with it, in such a way as to make it despicable.
he overcame him much, so as to subdue him, or abase him—دمّغهُ
on this sense Maṣdar as above: he overcame, or subdued, and abased, him, or it — as the truth does falsehood.
1.1.2figurative · مجاز — inferred[the produce of] the land was eaten—دُمِغَتِ الأَرْضُ
1.1.3figurative · مجازhe slaughtered for them a lean sheep or goat—دَمَغَهُمْ بِمُطْفَئَةِ الرَّضْفِ
So says Lh, except that he does not explain the verb; it is explained in this way by Ibn-'Abbád and Z. Some say a fat sheep or goat.
1.2she (a woman) put a دَامِغَة to her حويّة—دمغت حَوِيَّتَهَا
This last is a stuffed thing that she rode on upon her camel.
The verb is written in the L and TA without teshdeed, so it is apparently دَمَغَتْ, but it may be دَمَّغَتْ.
